Question

A child took sugar cane and sucked its juice. Regarding this, which of the following match is correct?

• A. Substrate- Proteins, Enzyme- Pepsin, Site of secretion- Duodenum, Salivary glands, Products formed- Polypeptides of Glucose
• B. Substrate- Starch, Enzyme- Amylase, Site of secretion- Salivary glands, Products formed- Glucose
• C. Substrate- Lipids , Enzyme- Lipase, Site of secretion- Pancreas globules, Products formed- Fat
• D. Substrate- Sucrose, Enzyme- Invertase, Site of secretion- Duodenum, Products formed- Glucose and Fructose

Answer 1

The correct option is D Substrate- Sucrose, Enzyme- Invertase, Site of secretion- Duodenum, Products formed- Glucose and Fructose

Refined sugar is made from raw sugar. Raw sugar is a sucrose which is synthesized from sugar cane. This when consumed is acted upon by invertase in the duodenum to produce glucose and fructose.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
